What Do Your Digital Footprints Say About You? - Nicola Osborne

Digital education and social media expert Nicola Osborne encourages us to tread carefully on social media and consider what our digital footprint might reveal about us. Nicola leads EDINA’s work in Digital Education which includes working with the University of Edinburgh, and with partner organisations and researchers across the UK, to develop new projects and innovative ideas, some of which go on to become fully fledged projects or services. She is also actively engaged in research in this area with work particularly focusing on social media and digital tracks and traces, particularly in relation to higher education teaching and learning. She is also interested in privacy, ethics and information security around social media and digital platforms. In October 2015 she was included in Jisc’s 50 most influential higher education (HE) professionals using social media in recognition of her previous and ongoing work in this area. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
